Something my parents instilled in me from a young age is the importance of good manners. Please, thank you, yes ma’am, no sir and a polite, pleasant attitude can get you a long way. At the same time, acting like a spoiled brat can set you back and, perhaps, even get you called out online.
We took a trip to this subreddit that’s dedicated to putting entitled individuals on blast and gathered some of their best posts below. From selfish people making demands on social media to drivers taking up as many parking spots as they like, enjoy scrolling through these examples of atrocious entitlement, and be sure to upvote the pics that make your blood boil!

You'd better address me with my neighbour's hamster's room-mates- librarians cousins rank, which is mayor pain in the a*s.
This Karen Got Owned By My Boss
This Unhinged Karen Who Hit And Bit Flight Attendants And Other Passengers On An American Airlines Flight Last July And Was Tied And Duct-Taped To Her Seat Was Fined $82,000
Nobody wants to be seen as a pushover, and if you genuinely are entitled to something, you shouldn’t be afraid to say so. Boss refuses to accept your time-off requests even though you’ve acquired dozens of days off? Speak up. Food courier forgot half of the meal you paid for at the restaurant? You deserve to get your money back. But it’s important that we all understand what we’re actually entitled to versus what our delusions tell us we deserve.
The Entitled “Batch” subreddit (who’s name we’ve had to censor) is all about calling out individuals who believe they are owed much more than they really are. It describes itself as a place “to post and read about experiences with people who think they can always get their own way and are better than everyone,” and it’s become quite popular. With over 343k members, this online community is the perfect place to remind yourself that not everyone has great manners.
EK Breaks Store Policy And Is Upset With Outcome
Bro..?
Someone Is Hella Over It!
We’ve all encountered entitled behavior before, whether it’s a Karen demanding that a restaurant seat her party before others even though she doesn’t have a reservation or a couple expecting to get free wedding photos from a professional photographer because they went to high school together. But most of us know that this behavior is totally inappropriate, so where does it come from?
To gain more insight on this topic for a previous Bored Panda piece, we got in touch with Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist Al Hoberman. Al was kind enough to have a chat with us and explain how exactly people justify their entitled behavior.

Your Loss!
“Entitlement can come across as overconfidence, but turned on its head, we can see it as an expression of some kind of need,” Al explained. “Maybe it’s wanting to feel special, to be cared and provided for, or to know that you’ll be there for them. Wanting a lot is a sign that someone feels that they’re lacking a lot, whether they’re fully aware of it or not.”

Al also noted that entitlement amongst family members can sometimes be a bid for connection. “Just like a young child who is all smiles at daycare, and then comes home and has a meltdown, we tend to show our most difficult feelings around people we trust,” he previously shared. “So if a family member is asking a lot of you, it may be an unconscious way of asking ‘how much can I lean on you and have you still love me?’”
What The What?!
I can't deal with that "proud to be in the military " stuff. Where I come from, nobody see it as something positive.

Change Your Dog's Name, Or My Unborn Baby's Life Will Be Ruined
As a kid, I'd have been thrilled to death to have the same name as a dog.
A friend of mine has a young son with the same name as my horse, and he thinks it's BRILLIANT! (The boy, on the horse. The horse hasn't shared his opinion yet)

Fixed it: Hi, can you imagine being so heartless and unreasonable that you ruin this perfect little person's life by naming her after a mutt? I'm going to callously do that terrible thing and it's YOUR mutt that I'm going to ruin her life by naming her after! I am a terrible piece of work and it's all YOUR fault. I'm a disgrace. This isn't over yet Jennay!! I should reconsider.
God I really just want to smack people like that upside the head so bad.
No worries. Happy to help. I'm renaming my dog T'leigh. You're so welcome. Also: thinking of getting a pet snake and would like to call it your name. Know you'll have no problem changing your name so it doesn't ruin my snake's life.
Your having a baby doesn't mean you get to change the name of every pet out there that has the same name as you've chosen for your kid.
So ..the dog was here first, yet you wanted to give your child the same name? Sounds like a "you" problem.
I was thinking that. All this business over THAT name…. not a great name for someone’s confidence and future as she’s staring.

🤣🤣 too funny, I'm a dog groomed Australia and so many puppies named tilly
I saw this where I once worked. One of my coworkers was upset that another lady named her dog Tammy and the first lady's daughter was named Tammy. I thought it was a lot of drama over nothing. I would not change my pet's name because some silly person asked me to.
This woman is clearly unstable and should not be responsible for young children. I am amazed you managed to remain so polite
Do they have a middle finger emoji? That would be worn out on a post like this.
With names like glen and shareen, you know exactly what demograph the gray texter is....
What a crazy idiot! I seriously doubt the baby will ever know that somewhere out there is a dog with the same name!! They have not even had any contact in a long time so what is she tripping about?!
Realistically, and without trying to disregard the stupidity in the expectations of that woman, but, how long does she think a dog lives? 10?15 years? Anything beyond that and it's an oddity for dogs' life spans. So, for how long does she think her kid having the same name as a dog she never meets, will impact her life?
Indiana Jones was named after his dog. John Wayne's nickname Duke was his dog's name.
I'd be all "My cat's just had a quite spectacular bowel motion and I want to give it your name. Unfortunately you might be offended by the cat s**t having the same name so can you please change your name to avoid any embarrassment?"
So, this f*ckup will haven all animal owners with a pet called Tillie change their name? Because "can you imagine having the same name as a mutt" 🤦♂️
My poor past, present and future dogs! They have ruined so many lives by now! To all the babies born and named Joshua, Jacob, Charlie, Sadie, Jessie, Lucy, Ziva, Addie, Ella, Harper and Jool born since the early 1980s, how are your lives going?
Every kid everywhere wants to share a name with an animal. This lady it nuts.
Surely this can't be genuine ? No one in their right mind would ask this\.
I had someone pull this with me, over my youngest daughter's name. I had my baby in September, she had her baby in November. My baby wound up back in hospital at 15 days due to apnea episodes. A whole group of family friends came up to the hospital to visit, one was heavily pregnant and approached me and asked me to change my babies name because if she has a girl that is the name they chose for a girl. I laughed, thinking she was joking. I explained it was too late, her birth was already registered and birth certificate issued. Later in the visit, I overheard her speaking to another visitor and she said that since my baby was in hospital and going to die anyway, changing her name shouldn't be a problem for me. She was speaking in spanish and forgot that I spoke it too, despite being white. I never spoke to her again and my baby will be 33 in September.
SMH....I can just picture it...after every difficulty, hardship, calamity, and disaster that poor Tillie will endure during her lifetime...everyone in that family will all be blaming TILLY...ITS THAT DMN DOG TILLY'S FAULT! IF ONLY THEY HAD CHANGED HER NAME!
My neice had the same name as my cat. My cat was 5 months older and we always told her she was named after the cat, she loved it and wanted to celebrate their birthdays together. We used to refer to them as 2 legged Poppy or 4 legged Poppy of we were talking to others about them. Unfortunately my 4 legged baby died 3 months ago, she was 15 and survived despite strange medical issues

*names child the same name as someone's dog* "Can you even imagine growing up having the same name as a mutt?" Also, pretty sure some dog somewhere is named whatever you can think of.
I’d just say “sure” and do nothing. They probably wouldn’t ask, and it wouldn’t be a problem.
My 3.5 yo daughter Mika loves dogs more than anything and we've actually already come across at least 2 dogs named Mika, she was over the moon excited, couldn't stop talking about it for days. Also, my niece is named Tilly and I think she'd love it too. This woman's batshit crazy.
Give the child a second name, that she can use if it's horrible for her to have the same name as a cute dog.
Wow, what a dramaqeen. That is a really serious attempt at guilttripping. Here is an idea: "if you think having a daughter with a name that is the same as someone else's dog is enough to ruing her life, how about you name her something else?... and if you raise a daughter that is so fragile that it does not take more than that to ruin her life, you are definitely doing something wrong, and should seriously consider if you are fit to be a parent. Unless you name her something unique like X Æ A-12 (which is ridiculous by the way) , you can be almost certain that she will run into someone with the same name down the line, so you better prepare her for that happening, that is just how life is.
I literally named my second kid after our cat. They are best friends the kiddo is really proud of that.
I have an Uncle who is an a-hole. He comes in and out of the family. He named his dog the same name as my oldest daughter.That dog passed away and he named this dog after my younger daughter. He didn't know the name of my children at the time. When he got his new dog I asked my mom what it's name was and she said it was my son's name and then she said my name. He didn't but I really don't care and my 32 and 30 year old daughters do not care either. A name is a name. I have my two dogs named Lucy and Ricky. There are many Lucy's and many Ricky in this world. I have seen a pig name Tilly. This woman has issues if she is so bent of a name. I would look up anything and everything named Tilly and send it to her.
Growing up, my neighbor had a dog with my name...It was literally never an issue.
I get not naming your kid the same as someone else’s, and not naming your dog after someone else’s pet (especially if they’re dead). But having the same name as a dog isn’t a big deal, especially bc they’re spelled differently
“On the other hand, if someone has grown up in an environment where this kind of behavior was rewarded, or they observed it in others, it could be that this is just what feels normal to them,” the therapist pointed out. “They might not even see it as special treatment, it’s just what they’re used to doing.”

No, it means she cheated. I can't think of any other way to interpret this. Even in 16th century Europe that was grounds for divorce and do you know how hard it is to get the actual Pope to OK a divorce? Ask Henry the VIII.
We also asked the expert for some advice on dealing with relatives who make others feel guilty about not giving into their selfish demands. “This is what practicing boundaries is all about,” Al noted.
“It’s a common misconception that setting boundaries is about getting the other person to do something you want. Actually, it’s about figuring out what your limits are, and deciding how you’re going to respond when they’re crossed,” he explained. “Then, importantly, you communicate that decision ahead of time.”

Came Across This Post From A Fellow Classmate. She Wants Everyone To Ask Her For Permission Before Getting Married/Taking On A Job
“Say I have a parent who keeps giving me unsolicited parenting advice,” Al says. “My first step is to tell them it’s unwelcome, and ask them, firmly but kindly, to stop. Next, if they persist, I might say something like, ‘Listen, if you’re really not able to stop, I’m going to end our conversation. We can talk about something else another time.’”
“Of course, chances are, the person you set boundaries with is going to be upset at first. That’s where the guilt comes in,” the therapist continued. “No one wants to feel like they’re letting down someone they love, but tuning in to this caring can help you express yourself compassionately without compromising your own needs.”

While setting boundaries with entitled individuals is a good way to handle conflict, Al told Bored Panda that it doesn’t prevent it altogether. “It can be an emotionally taxing process, and especially if you’re naturally conflict-averse, it's important to have a support system in place as you go through it. This could mean speaking with friends, a partner, or a therapist, but should also include keeping in mind that you’re in a vulnerable place and treating yourself with care.”
